Very small, smallest possible, drop in hurricane number predictions in Atlantic.

As we approach the end of the season, their revisions will resemble reality a lot more closely.
End of the season is very late September. Late August to mid September is peak season.

For here, it's mid-September to Mid-October.

I don't view a drop of from 16 to 15 by a prediction as being "significant".  Both are guesses, one is just later than the other after no hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic.

Thie guesses aren't that accurate, they may suggest a bit of a trend, e.g., more than usual, less than usual, about the same.  Maybe.

I do, but I'm in harm's way. 1 less is better than 1 more.

Now the north rim of the grand canyon is on fire. 



It's my understanding that they've already lost the lodge and the visitors center. :o

Al Gore is responsible for America’s success in leaving Europe in our dust. He spewed climate-change rhetoric based on flawed models, and Europeans believed him, writes Andy Kessler in the WSJ.

Caused by lightning strikes.

It's on my list to have rods installed. We get a lot of lightning here.

My friend (retired) said I need 9 for protection.

After my house was hit twice by lightning, I got two estimates to install rods.  Neither was "cheap".  They told me I needed somewhere around 7 I think, all grounded of course.  

Insurance wouldn't pay for it.  I asked, they laughed.

One strike blow the top three feet of my brick chimney all over the back yard, some chunks more than a foot across.

I'd like to learn more about the grounding here.

We have sandy soil that is very acidic. Typical pH around 4 or so, up to 6.

E3608.1.4Rod and pipe electrodes.
Rod and pipe electrodes not less than 8 feet (2438 mm) in length and consisting of the following materials shall be considered as a grounding electrode:
  • 1.Grounding electrodes of pipe or conduit shall not be smaller than trade size 3/4 (metric designator 21) and, where of iron or steel, shall have the outer surface galvanized or otherwise metal-coated for corrosion protection.
  • 2.Rod-type grounding electrodes of stainless steel and copper or zinc-coated steel shall be at least 5/8 inch (15.9 mm) in diameter unless listed. [250.52(A)(5)]

E3608.1.4.1 Installation.
The rod and pipe electrodes shall be installed such that at least 8 feet (2438 mm) of length is in contact with the soil. They shall be driven to a depth of not less than 8 feet (2438 mm) except that, where rock bottom is encountered, electrodes shall be driven at an oblique angle not to exceed 45 degrees (0.79 rad) from the vertical or shall be buried in a trench that is at least 30 inches (762 mm) deep. The upper end of the electrodes shall be flush with or below ground level except where the aboveground end and the grounding electrode conductor attachment are protected against physical damage. (250.53(G)]
